Urgent Meeting Sought on Disengagement Exile Housing

Welfare Minister Moshe Kachlon asked Chairman Daniel Hershkowitz of the Ministerial Committee on Assistance for the Evacuees from Gush Katif, this week, to hold an emergency meeting of the committee to discuss the housing crisis of the 30 percent of the evictees who are not yet in the process of building new homes.

Kachlon noted that uprooted Jews are marking seven years since the government-initiated eviction and that there were various reasons for their situations.
